face challenges in achieving pregnancy if you’ve tried unsuccessfully

More Fertility Resources
Although many educational materials about fertility and reproductive medicine
exist, you want the most accurate information from reputable sources, such as:
Other resources include DVDs Infertility Explained and Technostorks, as
well as books such as The Conception Chronicles, Conquering Infertility,
The Baby Trail: A Novel, The Right Fit: A Novel, Waiting for Daisy and
A Few Good Eggs.
Fertility Preservation & Cancer
Even if you face a cancer condition, you want the ability to make your
own family planning decisions. Although you may experience many side effects
of cancer, fertility depends on the type of cancer, treatment, surgery,
age and overall health.
Preserving fertility involves saving or protecting eggs, sperm or reproductive
tissue. Children and teens with cancer also have reproductive options.
For best results, talk with your doctors about fertility preservation
before beginning cancer treatment.
Depending on age and pubertal status,
options for children vary. Ask your OU Health fertility specialists for consultation regarding
girls with regular menstrual cycles interested in egg freezing. Girls
in any other situation should talk with Dr. Lisa Moon, part of OU Health’s
Pediatric & Adolescent Gynecology Services, at (405) 271-6208.
Fertility Preservation After Cancer Treatment
After you experience a cancer condition, you still may take advantage of
fertility preservation options such as:
Adoption
Egg donation
Fertility treatment and assisted reproduction
Gestational surrogacy
Sperm donation
Online Cancer-Related Fertility Resources
When living with cancer or its treatment, learn more about your fertility
options through online resources, including:
